Vehicle steering assembly

摘要

A steering assembly for a vehicle which comprises a hollow guide portion 7, a steering column extending through the guide portion 7, a clamping mechanism having a handle 30 and a bracket 106 adapted to be fixed to a vehicle. The clamping mechanism includes a pair of profiled parts which are shaped to convert rotational movement of the handle 30 into linear movement of a portion of the clamp mechanism which is used to clamp and unclamp the guide portion 7 from the bracket 106. When the handle 30 is rotated in a first sense, the mechanism clamps the guide portion 7 to the bracket 106. When the handle 30 is rotated in a second, opposite, sense, the mechanism unclamps the guide portion 7. The profiled parts may be threaded members which may be threaded with a fast thread. <IMAGE>
